I love this snapshot of life in Zanarkand! ♥ Of course Auron would find himself without a weapon - the fact that he was able to bring it through to Zanarkand at all is a miracle - and of course he would need to replace it as soon as possible. It's such a part of his identity, and the idea of Auron without it in this new, foreign place hits all the feels in the best of ways. When he finally gets to practice with it, it's like Auron gets a part of himself back.

I also love the little snippet with Tidus as a child, blunt, not understanding what the not!katana means to Auron. Auron's gentle correction of Tidus' grammar was a great addition - showing that he does look out for the boy even if he's not overbearing about it.

Thank you for writing this! It's lovely ♥

Oh, love this, love seeing explorations of what Auron was up to after his death and before the events of the game, and I love seeing him experiencing bits of culture shock trying to make a living in Zanarkand. You captured Auron's dry sense of humor, and I also liked the incorporation of the weapon customization mechanic into the background details here!

> “It’s a katana,” Auron said, unable to resist the joke.
